Defensive Athlete of the Week - Marisa Martinelli, Catholic

Posted: Oct 30, 2017

(Sr., M - Eagleville, Pa.)

Senior Marisa Martinelli was instrumental in Catholic's Landmark Conference Regular Season title-clinching victory over Scranton on Saturday night. The back and midfielder was seemingly all over the field in the shutout win. She anchored a defensive effort that held the Royals to just five shots on goal and was able to salt the clock late in the game with some great stick handling. She also got in on the offensive effort as she scored with a blast from the top of the circle on a penalty corner.
